Authorities have identified the man injured in an early morning, one-vehicle accident Sunday on Larrick Ridge Road in Guernsey County as Christopher Farmer, 27, of Caldwell.

According to a spokesperson at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Farmer remained in "fair" condition as of press time Friday. He was initiated taken by Old Washington EMS to Southeastern Med before being flown to the Columbus hospital.

Alcohol is suspected as a factor in the accident, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol's Cambridge post.

According to reports, a vehicle driven by Farmer was traveling on Larrick Ridge Road when it went off the left side of the roadway just before 4 a.m. and struck a mailbox. The vehicle came back onto the roadway and off the right side, where it struck a tree.

At 4:11 a.m., a patrol trooper requested medical personnel "step it up" due to the condition of the Farmer.

Approximately 15 minutes later, medical personnel requested MedFlight, but they were advised the medical helicopter would not be able to fly due to weather conditions.

Farmer, who was not wearing a safety belt, was extricated from the heavily-damaged vehicle using mechanical means.

He has been cited for failure to control. Additional charges are pending, according to the highway patrol.
